The holiday rush is on, and Costco locations in Metro Vancouver have added additional days with extended shopping hours to accommodate those needing last-minute gifts, dinner items, and more.
Last month, we reported that the bulk retailer would extend its operating hours for warehouse locations across the region for three days.
However, they have since added six more days when you can get your shop on earlier in the day and later into the evening.
Mark your calendars, because the extended shopping hours are only happening from Monday, Dec. 15 to Tuesday, Dec. 23, as confirmed on the Costco website.

Costco warehouses in Metro Vancouver are generally open to the public Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. during the non-holiday season.
On weekends, you can visit from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.
While the retailer is gearing up its local locations for several days of longer hours, it appears that its newly opened business centre location will not be adjusting its schedule for the holiday rush.
You can visit the new location from Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
However, it is only open on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
The Business Centre’s cater specifically to business customers with bulk and specialized products, in contrast to the far more common Costco warehouses, primarily tailored for everyday shoppers. While the centre might cater to businesses, it’s open to all Costco members.
